Does anyone know who Maurice Desjardin was, and if he made any other disco songs than the following two from 1978?

YouTube - Desjardins - Expresso 1978 DISCO

YouTube - Desjardins - Tecknik 1978 DISCO

I think both of the songs are absolutley beautiful....

Hutchcsx,

Maurice Desjardins is a pianist and arranger of a musical works. He resides(d) in Quebec and I don’t know at this point if he is still alive.

The record has been done with the help of another pianist called Georges Tremblay who is still active in the musical business.

The label is branded from a local television station “Télé-Métropole” mainly because he was involved in musical TV business.

I don’t think that there are too many of these 12” spread around.

If you like the style, I recommend André Gagnon, a well renowned pianist who did comparable musical tracks when Disco music was at its apogee:

- Smash
- Surprise
- Wow

...to name a few


- Marcus

Wow, thanks so much for the info! I had heard of Andre Gagnon, and yes his style is very similiar. Here is a video of his disco song "Donna" on YouTube : YouTube - Andre Gagnon - Donna - 1977 - 5:58

Thanks again!
